This is a clip of the Hydrogen Bomb test at Enewetak Atoll on November 1, 1952, and the first time one was exploded. The fireball was big enough to cover most of Manhattan Island. This clip show more of the aftermath of the nuclear cloud than do most films.

Subject: UNFUNNY AND OVERRATED
THIS FILM IS VERY UNFUNNY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS OVER 30,000 DOWNLOADS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FUNNY THEN DOWNLOAD THE "Film Countdown" SERIES OF FILMS THEY ARE HILARIOUS.

Oops, I drank too much Pepsi.

This is great footage. Some of it is in sepia and some of it is in colour. Decades on and it is still impressive to watch.
